Château Tour de Bonnet Red 2022

Château Tour de Bonnet | Red

AOC Bordeaux

Presentation

Château Tour de Bonnet exists in white, rosé and red versions. This wine was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the construction of a belvedere by André Lurton's grandfather, Léonce Récapet. The deep red colour is extremely attractive and the smooth, delicious and very soft tannin provides backbone to the long, elegant and fruity aftertaste.

The wine

Varietal

Cabernet sauvignon : 50%

Merlot : 50%

Alcohol content

13,5% vol.

Weather conditions

2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.

Harvest

16 September - 10 October 2022

Tasting

The nose reveals an intense bouquet of crisp red fruits – strawberry, redcurrant, raspberry – enhanced by a touch of indulgence.
On the palate, the supple and elegant attack quickly gives way to a full and generous texture. The mid-palate combines volume and roundness, supported by fine, silky tannins.

Château Bonnet

Château Bonnet

The cradle of Vignobles André Lurton, Château Bonnet is first and foremost a family home where tradition and ecological commitment come together in harmony. Nestled in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, the estate promotes biodiversity with beehives, a henhouse, flowering fallows and orchards, while adopting biocontrol viticultural practices for some of its plots. Its fresh, expressive dry white wines reveal delicate notes of citrus and exotic fruit, perfect for accompanying seafood and oysters from the Bay of Arcachon. Its well-balanced red wines, with supple tannins, express all the richness and deliciousness of the fruit.
